Summary

Amidst the chaos of the Second Great War, a scientific monopoly known as Anschluss makes a bold move – its leader Professor Cornelius orders the kidnapping of one of the most powerful strains of Zerg in existence: a Brood Mother.

Gaul is a typical marine: he’s headstrong, from a backwater planet and has a criminal record as long as his arm. He works with his three friends: Red, Earl and Skiv. Together they’ve been working for Anschluss for half a year, and for the past three months have been hunting down strange requests for Professor Cornelius.

After a meeting with the Professor goes wrong, Gaul and his team are given a suicide mission: disable and recover the Brood Mother on the grave planet Tarsonis. If they fail, it’s been made clear that they won’t survive long – Anschluss will kill them. Unable to refuse, Gaul and his crew reluctantly go to what they’re sure to be their deaths.

Unknown to them all, Cornelius has sent his personal assassin to aid them in recovering the highly evolved Zerg Queen. By doing this, the Professor accidently sets in motion events that could change the face of the Koprulu Sector.
